Things to Do Prior to the Championship
1. Complete the Cresting Agreement no later than January 15th at NOON (include pictures of
uniforms)
The on line waiver is to ensure that all provincial participants understand the operations and
responsibilities as a team at our championships. When you sign your waiver (upon registration) you
have thereby agreed to these conditions. If you have any team additions/changes you must notify
CurlManitoba 7 days prior to the event.
Coaches, fifths and replacement players may not be designated after this time
Review the Rulebook which can be found at https://curlmanitoba.org/rules/
2. Complete the Seeding form by JANUARY 4, 2019 (Do NOT seed your own team)
Seeding refers to a ranking of the teams so that they may be placed in the standard
CurlManitoba draw. A form will be emailed to all teams after the 16 teams are known.
Remember, this is your opportunity to participate in making the draw so please ensure your
team’s input by promptly responding. In doing their team rankings, teams are reminded that
this is neither a popularity contest nor an attempt to predict the winner. It is a ranking of teams
based on your personal experience and knowledge of the teams’ ability. It is each team’s
responsibility to make an unbiased assessment of every team including themselves. This
ensures that the final draw groupings at the provincial championship are the fairest possible for
all teams

8|PageGame Procedures
Broom Moratorium:
The broom moratorium is in effect. The complete moratorium can be found at www.curlmanitoba.org –
Competitions – Rules
Coin Toss: Note: there will be a designated area for the coin toss
A minimum of 35 minutes before the draw time, the teams shall toss a coin to determine the order of practice
and stone colour. The winner of the toss shall have choice of first/second practice or stone colour. A specific
location will be marked for the coin toss; failure to be in attendance will be considered to have lost the toss.
The team that practices first will throw the clockwise turn for the Last Stone Advantage (LSD).
Pre-Game Practice:
First practice will start 30 minutes prior to the game time. You may stand on the ice and cool your slider, but
please do not slide until the umpire signals “practice may begin”. Practice will be 9 minutes followed by the
draw for last stone advantage in the first end.
Last Stone Advantage (LSD):
1. Both teams will name the player delivering the stone before the first team practice.
2. The team with first practice will always deliver the clockwise rotation while the team with second
practice will always deliver the counter-clockwise rotation.
3. Only the four ‘game’ players are allowed on the ice surface for the Last Stone Draw in regular 4-person
play. Full sweeping is allowed, however, one of the four players must hold the target broom. The
sweeping line-up should be as it would be during the actual game; i.e. if the skip is throwing, then the
lead and second must sweep; or, if the lead is throwing, then the second and third must sweep.
4. After each team’s pre-game practice, the named player will deliver one (1) stone to the button, which
will be measured. If the distance is 0.00 cm or 185.40 cm, a different player from the team will deliver
a stone, which will be measured.
5. A stone not delivered within the time allotted by the umpire will be assigned a distance of 185.40 cm
(the stone must reach the near tee-line before the one-minute time expires).
6. Stones moved by the delivery team before being measured will be assigned the distance of the next
defined circle away from the button.
On or touching the button = 15.24 cm (when a one (1) foot button)
In or touching the four foot = 60.96 cm
In or touching the eight foot = 121.92 cm
In or touching the twelve foot = 182.88 cm
7. If a member of the non-delivering team or an external force moves a stationary stone or causes it to
be moved before the Umpire completes the measurement, the stone is replaced to its original position
by the delivering team.
8. If the team with second practice then registers the same first stone distance as the team with first
practice, a second player from the team with second practice will deliver a stone, which will be
measured.
9. If the distances are still tied, the teams will alternate delivering one (1) stone with their designated
rotation until the tie is broken. Any player on the team can deliver the third and any subsequent stone
including the players who delivered the first two stones.
10. Each player must deliver a minimum of one (1) stone during the round robin.
Exception: Viterra Championship has no requirement
11. Only the first stone delivered will be registered for the accumulated distance.
12. At the conclusion of the round robin, the single highest recorded distance will be discarded to establish
the final accumulated distance.
NOTE: The third from both teams shall watch the measure and confirm the distance recorded.
9|PageGame Duration:
Games are 10 ends with 38 minutes “thinking time” allotted for each team.
There is a mandatory 5th end break of 5 minutes.
You must play a minimum of 5 ends at which time a team may elect to concede.
Time allotted for extra ends is 5 minutes.
There will be a 2-minute break before an extra end.
Game Start and Timing:
Before each game an announcement will be made that the games will start in 1 minute. At that time you may
start your warm up slides and the game at any time after the announcement.
Your clock starts when you have control of the house and stops when your thrower’s stone reaches the
throwing tee-line. Your clock will start running once your stone comes to rest IF you do not turn the house
over to the opposition in a timely manner. (All stones have come to rest, the sweepers have moved to the
sides and the skip is behind the back line; then the field of play has been relinquished)
After each end is completed, the score is decided and the house is cleared, you will be given 1 minute to
prepare for the first shot of the next end. The minute will start once the score has been determined. If the
first stone of the end does not cross the throwing tee-line before the minute is up the clock will start and run
until the stone is delivered.
At the conclusion of each end, please inform the observer of the score-even if it is obvious.
Time Outs:
Each team may call 2 time-outs during a game. If there is an extra end (s), each team may call 1 time-out.
Time-outs are 1 minute. Any unused time outs for the game may not be carried over to the extra end (s).
The time-out clock will start immediately when the coach and players communicate.
The team that called the time out is in charge of the time used. This means if the team calling the time out
uses 30 seconds; then the opposing team only receives 30 seconds.
Coaches may only walk on the walkways.
To call a time-out use the T signal to indicate to your timer. Please raise your arms so there is no confusion
on the intent of a time-out. Your time will stop to allow the coach time to get to the team.
A fifth player is only allowed to participate in time-outs if they meet the coaching requirement.
Page Playoff:
The top four teams with the best win/loss and positive records will advance to the playoff round regardless of
which pool you are in.
First and second place teams will play with the winner advancing to the final and the loser moving to the semi-
final. (1 vs 2)
Third and fourth place teams will play and the winner will advance to the semi-final. (3 vs 4)
The winner of the semi-final will advance to the final.
If there are two or more teams tied, placement will be based on the team’s cumulative LSD
10 | P a g eCoaching
Texting or surfing the net is not allowed at the coaches’ bench. If you need to answer an email or make a
call, please leave the ice area. All phones must be turned off in the ice area.
Rule Enforcement
Rule enforcement will operate on a complaint based system where the umpires will not get involved unless
requested by either of the two competing teams. The hog-line rule is that a stone must be clearly released
BEFORE the hog-line. If you consider hog-line violations to exist and wish that it be addressed, an umpire will
be assigned to observe all players on the sheet. The umpire will make hog-line calls for both teams and
stones will be removed accordingly.
Remember that players from the non-delivering team must be positioned between the courtesy lines (hog-
lines) in single file when the opposing team is delivering.
If you are leaving the ice area prior to other games being complete, please do not walk across the backboard
while players are delivering their stones.
Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. If you swear loudly, bang a broom loudly or do anything to
interrupt or interfere with the play on the other sheets you may be ejected from the game and your fifth will
NOT be allowed to replace you.
General:
1. It is understood that preliminary rounds, tiebreaker games and all playoff rounds are deemed to be one
competition. Teams, having begun the competition, are expected to complete all games in the
competition to the standard outlined above.
2. All cell phones or other communication devices MUST be turned off during the games.
3. Please remember to keep your knees and hands off the ice surface after you have thrown a stone.
4. Please place your equipment bags and equipment along the back of the walkway.
CurlManitoba is fortunate to have good media coverage. We would appreciate you taking the time to talk to
the media when approached. Remember-there is no such thing as “off the record”.
Make sure you are aware of the CurlManitoba Social Media Policy which can be found in the Players Guide.
Any questions you have please contact Connor Njegovan at cnjegovan@curlmanitoba.org prior to the event.
Questions arising at the event must be directed to the head umpire.
MEDIA
CurlManitoba is fortunate to have great support from media across the province. Every player is asked to do
their part in maintaining that support by cooperating with media when requested.
The presence of photographers and cameramen is a fact during a CurlManitoba Championship. While it may
seem courteous to you to stop your movement while they take their picture, it is not your responsibility to do
so. Your job is to be in position to sweep or make your next shot. If you must move in front of their camera to
do so, do not be concerned about it.
For all Televised Games:
The entire team is required to report to the Umpires 30 minutes prior to their practice time, one hour before
game time. At that time the television crew may request to do a short interview. All players are asked to
wear a radio frequency microphone for the duration of the game. With the wearing of the microphone comes
11 | P a g ethe responsibility of “watching your language”. The use of obscene or offensive language on air is strictly
forbidden. Players will be ejected from the game should obscene or offensive language be broadcast on air. All
televised games will be 10 ends minimum.
Social Media Guidelines for Athletes and Coaches
Definitions
The following term has this meaning in these Guidelines:
“Social media” – The catch-all term that is applied broadly to new computer-mediated communication media
such as blogs, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter
Purpose
1. These Guidelines provide athletes and coaches with tips and suggestions for social media use. Athletes
and coaches are strongly encouraged to develop their own strategy for social media use (either written
down or not) and ensure that their strategy for social media use is acceptable pursuant to
CurlManitoba’s Code of Conduct, Behavioural and Discipline Policies.
2. Given the nature of social media as a continually developing communication sphere, CurlManitoba
trusts its athletes and coaches to use their best judgment when interacting with social media. These
Guidelines are not hard and fast rules or behavioural laws; but rather ideas that will inform athletes’
and coaches’ best judgment.
Social Media Guidelines for Athletes
The following tips should be used by athletes to form their own strategy for social media use:
1. Set your privacy settings to restrict who can search for you and what private information other people
can see
2. Coaches, teammates, officials, or opposing competitors may all add you to Facebook or follow you on
Twitter. You are not required to follow anyone or be Facebook friends with anyone
3. If you feel harassed by someone in a social medium, report it to your coach, umpire, or to
CurlManitoba
4. Do not feel pressure to join a fan page on Facebook or follow a Twitter feed
5. Content posted on Twitter and Facebook, relative to your privacy settings, is considered public. In most
cases, you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy for any material that you post
6. Avoid posting pictures of, or alluding to, participation in illegal activity such as: speeding, physical
assault, harassment, drinking alcohol (if underage), and smoking marijuana
7. Model appropriate behaviour in social media befitting your status as a) an elite athlete, and b) a
member of your club and of CurlManitoba. As a Member of CurlManitoba, you have agreed to
CurlManitoba’s Code of Conduct, Behavioural and Discipline Policies and most follow that Code when
you post material and interact with other people through social media
8. Be aware that your public Facebook page or Twitter feed may be monitored by your club, coach, or by
CurlManitoba and content or behaviour demonstrated in social media may be subject to sanction under
CurlManitoba’s Code of Conduct, Behavioural and Discipline Policies
12 | P a g eSocial Media Guidelines for Coaches
The following tips should be used by coaches to form their own strategy for social media use:
1. Choosing not to engage with social media is an acceptable social media strategy. But you must have
good reasons for your choice and be active in other communication media
2. Despite what Facebook says, you are not actually “friends” with athletes. Resist commenting on
athletes’ personal activities, status updates, or tweets on Twitter
3. Consider monitoring or being generally aware of athletes’ public social media behaviour to ensure
compliance with CurlManitoba’s Code of Conduct, Behavioural and Discipline Policies
4. Coaches may not demand access to an athlete’s private posts on Twitter or Facebook
5. Do not “friend” athletes on Facebook unless they request the connection. Never pressure athletes to
“friend” you
6. If you accept some “friend” requests, or follow one athlete on Twitter, you should accept all friend
requests and follow all the athletes. Be careful not to show favouritism on social media
7. Consider managing your social media so that athletes do not have the option to follow you on Twitter
or “friend” you on Facebook
8. Seek permission from athletes before posting pictures or videos of the athletes on publicly available
social media like a blog or on YouTube
9. Do not use social media to ‘trap’ athletes if they say one thing to you in person but their social media
activity reveals they were doing something different
10. Keep selection decisions and other official team business off social media
11. Never require athletes to join Facebook, join a Facebook group, subscribe to a Twitter feed, or join a
Facebook fan page about your team or organization
12. If you create a fan page on Facebook for your team or athlete, do not make this social media site the
exclusive location for important information. Duplicate important information in more official channels
(like on a website or via email)
13. Ensure that parents are aware that some coach-athlete interactions may take place on Facebook
14. Exercise appropriate discretion when using social media for your own personal communications (with
friends, colleagues, and other athletes) with the knowledge that your behaviour may be used as a
model by your athletes
15. Avoid association with Facebook groups or Twitter feeds with explicit sexual contact or viewpoints that
might offend or compromise the coach-athlete relationship
16. Never misrepresent yourself by using a fake name or fake profile
17. Be aware that you may acquire information about an athlete that imposes an obligation of disclosure
on your part (such as seeing pictures of underage athletes drinking during a trip)
18. Attempt to make communication with athletes in social media as one-sided as possible. Be available for
athletes if they initiate contact via social media – athletes may wish to have this easy and quick access
to you – but avoid imposing yourself into an athlete’s personal social media space unless explicitly
requested to do so
